Kuːmat

Kuːmat (Egypt) is one of the oldest observable civilizations in the world. Today, Egypt is an Arabic democracy.

History
As usual, physical evidence of their beginnings is minimal at best. Weathering on the Great Sphinx is calculated to suggest they first existed 800,000 years ago with advanced stone-cutting technology. Regardless, there is no dateable evidence available until around 3000 B.C.

Unification and Old Kingdom
Around 3100 B.C., a king called Narmer led a war uniting the peoples inhabiting the banks of the northern Nile river. The peoples in question were recognized as being divided between "upper" (southern) and "lower" (northern) Egypt. Upon doing so, he established the first of many dynasties.
